Notes
- Lavery, Ships of the Line, vol. 1, p. 181.
gollark: You need parens to partially apply operators, though, which is necessary to write pointless code mostly.
gollark: A function transforming Either a VulkanException or some `a` into `r` (which I assume is the `r`esult).
gollark: That's IO. *True* Haskellers would never touch such an evil concept.
gollark: And *has to*!
gollark: Amazingly enough, lots of code *has side effects*!
